1. Ho’okipa Lookout

20.9335026, -156.358490

The Ho’okipa Lookout is the best vantage point to see the vastness of Ho’okipa Beach and all of its surfing action. The cliff of the lookout is also an excellent spot to launch, especially if you’re a fan of taking “dronies” or “drone selfies.” The surf here can get intense, so watch out for the spray!
